I'm as anal as the next guy, and I find your usage impeccable. To the
kernel, a partition of a device is another device, with a brand new
minor device number. It's probably most correct to say that, "Mount
wants a block device with a filesystem on it."
Additionally, it's actually pretty common to have a filesystem on an
unpartitioned device. For example, floppy disks (remember those?!) were
never partitioned. USB drives are often unpartitioned. CDs, in my
experience, are rarely partitioned.
I find your correction of my verbiage most accurate and enjoyable. Thank
*you* sir.
